    Possibly dangerous and for what reason? If server_started fails for some
    reason before binding a port you lose, painfully.

    Nothing stops you from binding some obscure port to begin with and then
    rebinding later, as described in the changelog.

    Since you might be starting up on a normal checkpoint (in case of
    lossage) it has to be done at startup.
